Ingredients

Cake

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter softened
  • 1.5 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt
  • 3 Ripe bananas mashed
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar

Cream Cheese Frosting

Instructions

Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13x9 pan and set aside.
  • Peel ripe bananas and place in a bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash until smooth.
  • Wet Ingredients: To the unsalted butter and sugar, add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined after each. Then add the sour cream, vanilla extract, and the mashed bananas.
  • Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine flour, a teaspoon of baking soda, brown sugar, and salt until combined.
  • Add this dry mixture to the wet in two additions. Use a gentle folding motion, scoop from the bottom of the bowl, and fold over.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • Beat cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, and no clumps remain.
  • Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and combine well.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of milk and mix. You can add additional milk if you need to thin it out.
  • Spread frosting on the cooled banana cake.
